Team News: Defender David Luiz was fit enough to make the bench in the Champions League, but Ashley Cole is likely to miss through knee injury. Ramires and Willian both are suspended for this game after being sent off at Villa; the former set to miss three league games.

Nemanja Matic, who was ineligible to play in Europe, is set to return while German midfielder Andre Schurrle could come in as a direct replacement of Willian.

Samuel Eto’o has an impressive goal scoring record at home and he might start ahead of Fernando Torres.

Here is the possible line-up for Chelsea against the Gunners.

Prediction: 1-1; Chelsea are undefeated in their last 24 home matches in the Premier League, and a whopping 75 specifically under Mourinho. They’re undefeated in the last five games against the Gunners in all competition, but expect a hard fought draw.
